Looking to purchase a new xp 850 nuclear sunset ltd edition. Anybody driving an xp 850 that can provide some comments?

2007 Toyota Tundra Crewmax (dual exhaust) with 29ft 2008 Spree Toyhauler (missing the toy)!

 

I think there is one guy... maybe two. LOL

Seriously, there are a bunch of guys in this forum with 850 XP's. If you use the advanced search function and search for 850 XP in the Polaris forum, you will have enough to read for the rest of the day. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

BUY IT!!!! it's one helluva quad! Be prepared to put some new tires on it tho - plan that in your budget

 

Buy it!! I have a Sunset Orange LE. LOVE IT! They will be more difficult to find shortly as they no longer make the LE in Sunset Orange. They are coming out with a gold color LE. I could not be happier with mine. The power steering makes it so easy to steer and the power is a plenty.. I changed out the oem rims/tires and put XTR's with 212's on. It is an awesome machine.

 

I love mine. As of March 2 when I ordered mine they had 20 at the factory and were not taking any more. Rides like a dream. I agree about the tires though. I like the OEM rims, just thinking tires soon.

 

i heard that depending on the trails its against the law to trail ride because of the 14 inch rims.. i think.. not sure tho i read it on one of the threads

 

Some states have those rules about tire size on trails. Those rules are so st-st-st-stupid, the larger the rim the larger the tire the lager the contact patch which equals less PSI on the ground which equals less damage.

I love mine!
It does lack storage space and tires will be needed if mudding or for use in snow.
I just plan on wearing the stock tires down and then replacing them.
There is also plenty of optional storage available, I have the front box and a fender bag, both work well.
IMO It's the best quad on the market today!

 

I have the LE and its an awesome color but i agree about the tires i used xtr's with spacers seeing as the the LE comes with LE rims but HIGHOCTANE has a thresad here about just bending the swaybar anyways i like the orange...good luck finding one

 

Great machine. You won't regret it! The only beef I have with the LE is the paint. I have seen more than a few with the paint scraped off. I would recommend black or camo if you are hard on the paint. I have heard of problems with the camo and black in the past also, but the newer ones seem to have the least amount of problems. I regular XP can be transformed into an LE rather easily, and maybe less costly. Don't get me wrong, the LE is pretty cool, just stating what I have noticed.
